No Carbon Fiber?!?! What the deuce?!
-
I just wanted to thank you guys for putting on an awesome Kickstarter. Almost all of them have as many if not more issues than we have seen with the NFC Ring. However, very few I have been a part of can compare to the communication NFC Ring has had with the backers. Even less have delivered at least something so quickly.
Keep up the awesome work! -
I am pretty sure I had ordered a stealth bomber ring, at least that's what I wanted, but I am not getting an option for tug black on black ring. Any suggestions? Keep up the good work and thank you for keeping us informed.
-
I'm a patient guy, as long as I have an approximate date to look forward to an extra ring is an awesome bonus for me...

It'd be good to get a new email with updated details, to confirm the current order & future promises (voucher method? and perhaps also advertise the pre-order discount).

There shouldn't be any confusion here whatsoever, your original order stands and the only thing changed now is the carbon fiber inlay.
If you haven't had an automatic change to black then you've been emailed to choose the new colour of the affected inlay - simply choose that new colour and click the button on the webpage which the email takes you to then all done.What should happen for instance if you ordered the Collectionn and originally chose stealth bomber, titanium/black cf/black Alpha, titanium/black cf/black normal then you'll receive emails to change the two titanium rings and the stealth bomber will automagically become black/black/black.

What rings did you have on order? -
If you only have the stealth bomber then I believe that should be an automatic change to black from black cf.

oh, right, I just re-read the email:
> 1) Backers that ordered black fiber & black inlay cover will have the choice to replace the black fiber inlay cover with black, white or transparent.
> 5) Stealth bomber rings will be changing back to their original design of black metal with black inlays.
I stopped reading at 1) but 1) is later superseded by 5) in the case of black metal...
ok, thanks, all black is what I wanted originally but couldn't have, so I'm happy!

No worries mate, glad we sorted it out
I'm in agreeance about the all black stealth bomber, should be very cool. And stealthy. -
@mr3rown RE not getting choice from Apple. I believe you guys should have choice, I'm willing to fight for that.

Yep, Lokki beat me to it. -
Ordered a normal titanium with Grey and Black carbon. I guess that means black and white and no survey? Transparent would be nicer than white IMHO. But I guess I can use that as my 'private part' for now.
Sorry if I missed some info but why not just ship the fail-carbon with vouchers for a new cf 2.0 nfc ring in the future? -
@Lokki thanks for resolving the issue RE confusion over stealth bomber.[/quote:3cehxbdq]
Hmm, I suspect your silver carbon fiber may have changed to white because the other inlay was a different colour. The change emails are for when an automatic change would create a ring with two inlays the same, to avoid potential confusion with usage later. The exception is the Stealth Bomber because Stealth.
There are so many changes made that if everyone were to get more emails for individual order re-confirmation it would slow things down even further. -
Normal Size Ring with Titanium Normal Color Metal. Your inlay choices are Black and Silver Carbon Fiber and the Ring Size is US Size: 7.5. Normal Size Ring with Titanium Normal Color Metal. Your inlay choices are Black and Black Carbon Fiber and the Ring Size is US Size: 15.I only got an email for the size 15 ring. I think I'm right in thinking I should expect 2 emails.
Is there really no chance of a confirmation order email?

So this is a frustration topic but... I am not that frustrated.
The NFC Ring team took a very professionnal decision inline with all of their other decision : ship a complete product with good quality instead of a incomplete product to please the masses. Then additionnally they offered a not even required compensation for people that ordered carbon fiber.
I respect this desision.

Definitely. I seriously doubt that other companies, let alone other kickstarter projects, would have done this. John is a Great Man. :-)
Frustration even from a minority tends to be very loud and obvious, and can worry others who wouldn't have normally been worried. It was an excellent move from that perspective alone.
